Lindon

The dashed black line shows the approximate border of Lindon at the end of the Third Age, but in its earlier history, it had extended to the east of the Ered Luin (as shown by the dashed white line). The Emyn Beraid (Tower Hills) were considered an outpost of Lindon, but did not fall within its borders.

Notes

There is strong evidence that the name 'Lindon' was applied to this region during the First Age, though 'Ossiriand' was the much more common name in those days. It only emerged as a 'political' entity at the beginning of the Second Age, though, hence the entry in the Tale of Years for the year 1 of the Second Age: 'Foundation of the Grey Havens, and of Lindon.' (The Lord of the Rings Appendix B, The Second Age).
